|  | A Great Mystery: The Secret of the Jerusalem Temple by Eugene Seaich
In this thoroughly provocative book, the late Eugene Seaich makes a detailed study of the intractable mystery of the Jerusalem temple. Using historical sources and ingenious detective work, Seaich suggests that the cherubim in Solomon’s temple were portrayed in a copulatory embrace. Aware that this thesis is not entirely novel, the author builds a substantial case in its favor and traces the influence of the atonement (at-one-ment) theology behind the concept through Israel’s wisdom school, New Testament and Gnostic sources, up through the Middle Ages. |
|  | The History of Tur Abdin by Aphram I Barsoum
Until now this first insider-history of Tur Abdin has been unavailable to non-Semitic readers. Written by Patriarch Ignatius Aphram Barsoum in Syriac, this history of the mountainous region in southeastern Asia Minor called Tur Abdin has not found wide readership because of language barriers. This new edition produced by Gorgias Press is a trilingual edition: the original Syriac, Arabic, and English translations. |
|  | Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan Ben Uzziel on the Pentateuch by
This book provides readers with English translations of two valuable Aramaic paraphrases of the Hebrew Scriptures. Volume I contains the author’s introduction and collated translations of the targums on Genesis and Exodus. Volume II contains collated translations of Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. |
|  | Lesser Deities in the Ugaritic Texts and the Hebrew Bible by Sang Youl Cho
A comparative work on the nature and various roles of the lesser deities, the so-called angels, in the Ugaritic texts and the Hebrew Bible. Sang Youl Cho insists on the necessity for a comparative study between the two religious literatures from Ugarit and ancient Israel. The present study is interested in their membership in the heavenly council, their kinship among the deities, and their roles such as messengers, warriors, mediators, or servants, which have numerous similarities in the Ugaritic texts and the Old Testament. |

The mythological texts of Ugarit have long been of interest to the scholarly world. The rich imagery within these narratives have captured the attention of many, and have been the source of important studies, not just to Ugaritic studies, but to ancient Near Eastern and Biblical scholarship as well. This study continues in this tradition by focusing on the imagery of meals and feasting as recorded in the Baal Myth and Kirta and Aqhat epics. By utilizing contemporary approaches to ritual these meal events are examined revealing the manner in which ritual behavior described and defined the different social relationships with the Ugaritic pantheon and the interactions between the divine and mortal realms. In particular, this study will demonstrate the role successful ritual behavior may have played in the organization and presentation of characters within the narratives, as well the role of unsuccessful or failed rituals associated with the meal event, which resulted in greater social chaos and confusion. In so doing, the author posits that one can gain insight into the manner in which Ugaritians believed they could relate with the divine. Dan Belnap earned his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago in 2007. He is currently an Assistant Professor at Brigham Young University. | |
